Congress Must Hear the Cries of Hunger From Abroad

As Congress debates the foreign aid budget, they should hear the
cries of hunger from abroad. They should also listen to the echoes of
history.

In fact, one of these came at a recent congressional hearing
on the foreign aid budget, which included activists Ben Affleck and
Bill Gates. Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Connecticut) mentioned the 1948
Marshall Plan, which rebuilt Europe and won the peace after World War
II.
